Premium Members James Davis Posted June 11, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I would be interested to know the weight of each battery too, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted June 11, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I would like the X-90 to be lighter than the current HC...any specs Paul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jake Iesu Posted June 17, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Way to keep us in Suspense Paul! I was heart broken when AB replaced the Dionic HC's with those silly looking ENG digital Batteries but you have certainly peaked my interest with the X-cell. Please, do tell.

Premium Members pauldudeck Posted June 17, 2015 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hi Guys, Once I have some finalized specs on the batteries, I will post them. Thanks.Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted September 1, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I made a graph to get a better idea of the new dimensions. The new Cine 90 is better than the Digital 90, but not quite as good as the older Dionic HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members SergeiFranklin Posted September 2, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Larger volume is a problem if you fly with your gear. Since you have to put batteries in carry on 1.5x the volume is an issue. I will have my Dionic HC's recelled until Anton Bauer makes a a new battery of that volume and capacity.

Premium Members Christopher Moone Posted October 15, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Also, where did you get the Dionic HC weight? Everywhere I'm looking says 1.8 pounds. Almost half a pound is a pretty big difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted October 16, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Has anyone actually played with these yet? I'm realizing that the PRO 3 recorder shelf will not fit (don't use it a lot but it can come in handy) and worse - I (like many) use a Cam-Jam (or other brand) sliding monitor bracket. I fear the rails will not clear the battery unless you extend the lower post and raise the monitor bracket which I very much don't want to do. I'm very interested in these batteries, but that might be a deal breaker for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Nils Valkenborgh Posted October 16, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Alec, The batteries are very narrow, same width as the mounting plate. I don't know what the clearance is of the camjam bracket but I can imagine, after the atrocious G-batteries and their subsequent complaints, they have taken a lot of wishes and suggestions of operators into consideration. I've tried them at IBC on an Artemis and they flew nicely, a little more leg clearance. For now you can only get 90wh and 150wh models (in both AB and V-mount) but later this year they're planning to release 190wh's that have the same size as the 150's (or so I've heard).

Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted October 16, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Significantly higher weight than HC, not good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Nils Valkenborgh Posted October 17, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 0.1 lbs extra seems quite doable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted October 17, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 1.8 vs 2.2 lbs, with three batteries attached, you're adding 1.2 lbs of bottom weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted October 17, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Nils, I'm referring to the clearance on all two rod sliding monitor brackets (see image). Yes, you can raise the monitor bracket but if you keep it on the inner center post that means keeping that post slightly extended. This combined with more weight isn't a good thing. Hopefully it is not an issue as otherwise these batteries look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Nils Valkenborgh Posted October 19, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Jens, the HC's are 1.8lbs indeed, the chart said 2.2, good point about the added weight when using 3 of them. Alec, Looks like 15mm lw spacing, it's not going to clear those batteries width-wise, but the height might be ok with the 90's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
